Consider two ideal gases and at a given temperature. Gas is a rigid diatomic gas. Gas is a non-linear polyatomic gas having two active vibrational modes. If and represent the ratio of specific heats () for gas and gas respectively, the ratio is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
For gas (rigid diatomic gas):
Degrees of freedom, (translational) (rotational)
For gas (non-linear polyatomic gas with two active vibrational modes):
Each vibrational mode contributes degrees of freedom (one for kinetic energy and one for potential energy).
Degrees of freedom, (translational) (rotational) (vibrational)
Ratio
Answer:
Degrees of freedom, (translational) (rotational)
